The panels that are used in heavy timber systems can be replaced with standard bat insulation 2 6 tongue and groove is replaced with roof sheathing or 3 4 or 5 8 in most areas and instead of making the timber structural the spacing and placement of the timber can be wider spacing which allows for fewer beams and much smaller timber can be used since the structure is provided in the truss or conventional roofs. Standard stud construction typically requires only 3 studs.
